Subject[PATCH] kernel/watchdog: use nmi registers snapshot in hardlockup handler
From
Date
NMI handler doesn't call set_irq_regs(), so get_irq_regs() returns NULL or
stale snapshot from beginning of IRQ interrupted by NMI. Registers from
argument are always here and points to interrupted instruction and state.
